When Will Your Ship Come In?

You may have heard of blogger and life coach Alex Fayle, also known as the “Someday Syndrome” guy. Someday Syndrome is the affliction that people suffer from when they know their life isn’t what they want, and they stare off into space thinking “someday my ship will come in.”
What Alex does is help people uncover hidden patterns so they can break their procrastination habit and start living the life they desire. He’s certainly done that in his own life, overcoming his procrastination to move to Spain and follow his dreams such as becoming a fiction author. In his new ebook Someday My Ship Will Come In: A Practical Guide to Finding Your Dreams, he shows you how to do the same.
I had a chance to read a draft of this ebook. When Alex asked me specifically what I thought it would do for people, I said the lessons and exercises would help them get clear about their dreams now versus never thinking about them and leaving them to chance. Because the biggest reason that people fail to achieve their dreams isn’t so much that they try and fail, but they put them off to a “someday” that never arrives.
Whatever your dreams are, you can’t just wait for them to come to you. You have to identify them, focus on them, take the first few steps, and get the ball rolling. That’s what it takes to cure your Someday Syndrome. Let Alex show you how in Someday My Ship Will Come In.

Cool, I remember doing Alex’ Someday Syndrome interview and having lots of fun. Glad to hear he is doing will and put together an ebook.

Hi Hunter: Another big reason people don’t accomplish their goals is because they run around from one thing to another without ever truly completing anything. You need to limit the number of things you focus on at any one time; when you’re done with those you can move on to something else. I’m also glad–like Akemi–that Alex got this ebook out there.

@ Akemi, Alex has some great interviews, doesn’t he? And now he has this ebook to supplement his blog and his coaching.
@ Marelisa, chasing too many rabbits makes it impossible to catch any of them. That’s definitely something I’ve struggled with, but now I try to be more focused.

Hi Hunter,
From the first time I landed on Alex’s blog, I knew he was onto something. We all have those someday dreams. Sounds like he’s on the path to teach others to stop talking and start taking action. Go Alex!

@ Barbara, yup, it’s just what you’d expect from the guy who coined “Someday Syndrome!”
